The Atlanta Braves’ stadium has hit a home run for animals—and PETA is taking notice. The group just named Truist Park one of North America’s most vegan-friendly ballparks, thanks to an animal-friendly menu that includes Slutty Vegan’s appetite-arousing Hollywood Hooker—a vegan chopped Philly stuffed with peppers and caramelized onions and topped with melty dairy-free provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and vegan mayo on a hoagie roll—and Smokey Q’s classic veggie dog.
“From mouthwatering meat-free cheesesteaks to a delicious veggie dog with all the trimmings, Truist Park’s vegan offerings will have Braves fans rooting for more,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “All the stadiums on PETA’s list are knocking it out of the park with food that leaves animals in peace—not in pieces.”
Other top ballparks recognized by PETA include the Colorado Rockies’ Coors Field, the Chicago White Sox’s Guaranteed Rate Field, the New York Mets’ Citi Field, the New York Yankees’ Yankee Stadium, the Philadelphia Phillies’ Citizens Bank Park, the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park, the Seattle Mariners’ T-Mobile Park, the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field, the Toronto Blue Jays’ Rogers Centre, and the Washington Nationals’ Nationals Park.
Every person who goes vegan spares nearly 200 animals each year daily suffering and a terrifying death and reduces their own risk of developing heart disease and cancer. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help those looking to make the switch.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
